Is it true Michael Jordan idolized you and initially signed his first name with the spelling of your name?
Thompson: “Yeah. He told that story to my brother, Andy. He said he liked my name in print and started using it with the way I spelled it. But his mother made him stop doing it (laughs).”
What did you think when Andy told you that?
Thompson: “‘Are you kidding me?’ I was so flattered and honored. That’s one of the great compliments. The great Michael Jordan wanted to emulate me?! That was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received.”

Mychal Thompson is an absolute gem on local LA radio.
Legendary ds
For a second I thought Jordan was taking a shot at Thompson. We all know how much he takes things personally.
JaMychal Jordan
Mycal Air Gordon
Would love to see one
It is funny in a league with unique names like Kobe, LeBron, Wilt, Kareem, Shaquille, Giannis, etc, the the GOAT is common ass Mike.
I wonder how long he signed that style before his mom made him stop lol
Imagine you have an autographed piece Jordan memorabilia and it’s spelled Mychal Jordan 😂 authenticators gonna lose it
I’m just gonna pretend I haven’t been mispronouncing that name this whole time
